When I right click the photo and look at properties the date created is the date downloaded not the date taken. It used to be the date taken but has changed to date downloaded. There is nothing in properties that lists the date taken which is important for my records.
The file properties will always show the date downloaded, since that's the date the file was created on your hard drive. The date (and time) the photo was taken is stored in the file itself, in what's known as the EXIF data.
I don't know what operating system you're using, so I can't give you specific instructions on how to get the date the photo was taken. On Windows Vista, for example, if you click (not double-click) on a file in Explorer, the date taken will appear in the status area at the bottom of the window. Other programs will have different ways of displaying the EXIF data.
